Delicata Squash with Sage and Butter

Have you tried Delicata squash? Ohmygoodness, it is our favorite squash these days! Here are the things I love about Delicata squash:

You don’t have to peel it. This makes for easier meal prep and a beautiful presentation!

It’s easier to cut than butternut squash, acorn squash, etc.

It’s SWEET! You can honestly tell your kids that this “tastes like candy” (instead of trying to trick them with something like broccoli or green beans…they know, it really doesn’t taste like candy–but Delicata squash DOES!)

It is versatile. Cook it with butter, herbs, chicken, Italian seasonings, other vegetables, meats, etc. Dress it up however you want, and it works!

It is super yummy!

Here is a recipe that my family enjoys:

Have you cooked with Delicata squash before? If so, what’s your favorite way to cook it? If not, are you willing to try it? 🙂

I bet you girls are getting excited! Weston A Price Foundation convention is almost here. I am so jealous. wish I could go….too many committments right now. Maybe next year. Can’t wait to read your blog after you get back

Delicata is my absolute favorite ‘winter’ squash (it’s not technically a winter squash – it’s more related to zucchini & the like). It makes me sad that it won’t store as long as other winter squash. My favorite way to cook it is just baked with some nutmeg & butter. Yum! It is sweet, but not so sickeningly sweet that it tastes like dessert!
